I love reading other blogger's goal posts. It's a nosy little peek into their lives. It's inspiring and informative and fun, but maybe that's just me.
I also love writing goal posts. It's a way to put my goals in writing, track my progress, see what I still have left to accomplish, and evaluate if each goal remains important to me. I abandoned a few goals last year...without guilt!
With a quarter of the year behind us, I figured it was time to do an update and include a few links and pictures. My goals are bulleted while my notes are written in teal.

- Experiment in the kitchen. Try making my own
granola bars,yogurt, vanilla,sourdough bread, andmarshmallow cream.
I accomplished much in the kitchen over the first quarter of the year. The only item left on my list is vanilla. I have the beans, but still I need to purchase the vodka. I attempted other new recipes, too, like this delicious Giant Cinnamon Roll Cake.
Eat at Chipotle.(Am I the only one who hasn't been?!)
Run a 2-mile race with Brian.
- Train and run a 1/2 marathon.
- Build my upper body and core strength. Hold a plank for 4 minutes.
- Learn to change the oil in the van and learn to change the wiper blades, too.
Take each child out individually for a meal at a restaurant they would enjoy.
- Read 50 books-- not including books I read aloud to my kids or books we read for school.
I've added 2 secondary challenges to my goal. I want to read most of the books from the 2014 Sisters Book Challenge I'm doing with my sister. I've read 3/10. Plus I've chosen 4 classics I want to read by the end of the year. I've read 1/4.
Develop a new chores system for the kids, including responsibilities for the two youngest.
- Take (or have someone else take) new non-candid photos of my kids.
I've been waiting for warm weather before even considering this and the warm weather has been slow in coming this year. My sister has volunteered to do the photography, but she is having surgery in April so maybe May or June.
I'll do another goal check-in at the end of June. Did you make any goals this year? How do you plan to accomplish them?

I also love reading goals updates,too.
ReplyDeleteI'm posting an update on my March goals next week. Making (and reviewing) monthly goals has definitely kept me more accountable.
I'd love to know more about your chore and allowance system. Our children all have personal chores (making beds, cleaning their room, etc.) and meal time chores each day. They also fold and put away the cloth diaper laundry and put away their own clothes, but everything else they do is on an as needed basis. I'd love some ideas of more structured chores for little ones.
Another mom left a comment on my blog Facebook page about wanting to hear more about our chores system. I'm not sure how helpful it will be to anyone else, but it is working well for us so I'll try to write up a few details and post it on my blog.
Delete...and the Giant Cinnamon Roll Cake was scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteOK I need to check out that Plank challenge because I absolutely no upper body strength which is funny since all day I'm carrying two very active and heavy toddlers! :) And I'm with you, I also love reading other peoples progress reports. It inspires and encourages me. Thanks for linking up at the Month That Was! :)
